The National Rugby League's Artie Legacy Medal is an award that was inaugurated in the 2023 NRL season to be presented to the best player on the field in each match played between the Dolphins and Sydney Roosters. It was created to honour rugby league Immortal Arthur “Artie” Beetson, who was himself a former player and coach of both the Redcliffe Dolphins and the Eastern Suburbs Roosters.

It is intended that the Medal be "... played for and at every game between the two organisations that enabled him [Beetson] to achieve his Immortal status."[1]
